Oxford Reference Grammar

The Oxford Reference Grammar is a guide to modern English grammar. Designed for native English-speakers around the world, it presents the key points from Sidney Greenbaum's work in a form for the non-specialist. The guide gives guidance on all aspects of word types verbs, nouns, adjectives, and pronouns and word structures, including phrases, clauses, and sentences. Arranged thematically, it describes grammar as it is in use at the beginning of the 21st century, giving evidence of use in hundreds of quotations based on English as it is really spoken and written. Text is broken up into digestible sections and is complimented by a full glossary of grammatical terms and an introductory chapter on the history of the English language and its grammar.Read less
